Summary

The sixth meeting of the CCS Cost Network Workshop was held on March 19-20, 2019 at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) headquarters in Palo Alto, California, under the auspices of the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme. The purpose of the workshop is to share and discuss the most current information on the cost of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in electric utility and industrial process applications, as well as the outlook for future CCS costs and deployment. The workshop also seeks to identify other key issues or topics related to CCS costs that merit further discussion and study.

As in past workshops, Day 1 was devoted to a plenary session addressing four general topics. Each session included two or three invited presentations, followed by a discussion among workshop participants. The second day began with a fifth plenary session topic, followed by three parallel breakout sessions pursuing selected topics in more detail. Reports of the breakout groups were presented in a final plenary session, followed by general discussion of lessons learned and planning for future events.

This document presents brief summaries of the five plenary session topics, together with the full set of presentations by invited speakers. The proceedings of this and all previous CCS Cost Workshop are available online from the IEAGHG website.
